NCSA Delivers Terascale Computing With IBM Linux Cluster
Overview Home to one of the fastest computers in the world, NCSA at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, is the lead institution for the National Computational Science Alliance, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. NCSA's mission is to provide a complete supercomputing environment for the science and engineering community, along with the software and support it needs to be able to use such resources effectively. While petaflops machines are still in the future, teraflops systems (one trillion operations per second) exist now. And the Linux operating system is very much a part of today's technology for terascale computing. NCSA's users were asking for terascale capabilities, and they specifically wanted to take advantage of the Linux operating system for running community research codes. To upgrade its computing capacity to keep pace with users' needs, NCSA decided to work with IBM in creating the largest Linux cluster in the academic world.
